Clarke put bums back on seats, now get someone who can get them up off of them

Those who have long advocated for the removal of Steve Clarke as Scotland manager may today be feeling like the dog who eventually catches the car. Now that they have what they desire, they have no idea what to do next.

That, of course, is not their job to decide, but a call that falls to Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell.
